Steal an Employee Card from a TYM Employee

Depending how thorough you were at the start of Hengsha you may not have to backtrack to the Hung Hua Hotel. However, if you were like us and didn't sneak into every apartment you may have missed the employee card. Speaking of, the room you're looking for is the same room in which you spoke to Mei Suen for the Rotten Business side quest. Go out on the balcony, hop over the wall to the adjacent apartment, and sneak into that room. Look on the the coffee table for the card, sneak back out, and return to Van Bruggen netting yourself 1,000 XP.

Bring the Employee Card to Van Bruggen

Now that you have the card in your possession make your way back to Van Bruggen. On the way back could make this a great time to complete Malik's side quest, Shanghai Justice as well as selling off some excess loot to a local vendor. For us, we did all of the above as well as upgrading our strength ability to include Punch Through Walls as well as obtaining Energy Level Upgrade 1. Once you hand over the employee card to Van Bruggen to earn 1,000 XP and then the action will pick up.

Escape the Alice Garden Pods Ambush

After the cut-scene you'll be in a position to hand over a 10mm pistol to Van Bruggen (if you have it in your inventory) or decline to give him a weapon. If you give him a weapon it will be gone from your inventory -- so if you want to keep your upgraded pistol, you're going to have to let Van Bruggen go it alone. For us, we didn't want to loose our upgraded pistol so we left Van Bruggen to his fate. Now it's time to escape the Alice Garden Pods in one piece.

If you give Van Bruggen a weapon (and you can give him a machine pistol if you have one in your inventory), he will survive the attack and reward you with 2,000 credits once you're in the Dragon's Lair. Van Bruggen's survival will also be discussed on a terminal in Dragon's Lair. Tong's dialogue in Hengsha the second time will change based on your decision here.

The first step in escaping this area is to make your way to the ground floor. This can be accomplished through brute force or by sneaking past a majority of the guards while suppressing a few others. Here's our route: Take cover by the boxes outside of the pod room where you spoke to Van Bruggen and spot the guard patrols in front of Pod 5 to your left.

Wait for them to walk into that pod area and continue towards Pod 5. Suppress the two guards on patrols in this pod room and then make your way out the back door and down the stairs to the ground floor.

Continue down these stairs silently as to not bring attention to yourself from the other guards patrolling the lower pods. Once you get to the lower area, get in cover and analyze the guard patrol patterns.

Continue to move up to the edge of the entryway, remaining in cover, and giving you a better vantage point for the guard patrols. To the left, just outside of the hallway, is a stack of hard shell black containers and a cardboard box; make these your next cover position when the timing of the guard patrols allows it.

From this cover position you should have a cardboard box to your left. Grab this and use this as a mobile cover device, dropping it back on the ground and taking cover behind it when guards start to patrol near you. Continue this tactic as you make your way to the nearby exit (marked on your GPS) and continue down the stairs.

Continue down the hallway to the locker room doors and sneak into this room. There is one guard and a security camera that you have to be mindful of, but other than that it's fairly simple to sneak past both of them and into the hallway. Continue down the hallway to the ladies' room and remove the box next to the furthest toilet stall. This will reveal an air vent for you to crawl through.

As you exit from the vent you'll see a turret along with two guards keeping close tabs on this room -- except they're all facing away from you making it very easy to sneak behind them undetected. Continue through the showers until you come across another shower area with an electrically charged floor.

As you enter the room look to your right to see a pile of boxes. Move most of these out of the way and toss a single box at the nearby proximity mines (three of them) just ahead of you -- don't worry, it won't alert any guards. With the area cleared of mines, continue through the rest of the shower room while avoiding other electrically charged areas on the floor.

Continue towards the entrance to the laundry room. Sneak forward and take cover by the yellow laundry hamper to give you a vantage point on the guard patrols. Once one of the guards comes close to this location, wait for them to turn around, and then suppress each of them. Continue through the remainder of the laundry room.

As you approach the long hallway that leads to the exit you'll have two more guards to content with, one wielding a heavy machine gun. Stay in cover and observe their movements while waiting for them to split up. This will allow you to concentrate a ranged attack on the heavy soldier. Once the other goon is distracted by the sight of his comrade on the ground, take him out, and then make your way to the exit.

Go to TYM Via the Employee Shuttle

As you walk out of the door, proceed up the nearby stairs to avoid the police road block, and make your way to Tai Young Medical Shuttle, next to the L.I.M.B. Clinic on your map. Speaking of L.I.M.B., we purchased a new Praxis Kit and obtained the Recharge Rate Upgrade 1 and 2 abilities. Take this time to complete any outstanding side quests because once you board the employee shuttle, you will never have a chance to finish these quests. When you're ready, board the shuttle to Tai Young Medical.
